The Quadrangle (or The Quad) is the student-run newspaper of Manhattan University. The Quadrangle publishes weekly on Tuesdays during the academic year at Manhattan University.

The Quadrangle has continually published since its founding in 1924, when Manhattan University moved to its current location in the Riverdale section of The Bronx in New York City.[1] The Quadrangle is an official club of Manhattan University and is open to students of all academic fields of study.[2]
